Shorba?

topic posted Fri, August 17, 2007 - 1:21 PM by  Kamilia
Does anyone know the origin of "shorba"? Stupid me thought it was originally Arabic, but now I've heard that it's Farsi. I have a feeling, though, that it might originally be Urdu or Hindi: have any of you come across this one in your studies?

This whole ordeal has made me crave neon-green lime sherbet...
